Sarah Burton hosts Nancy May and Sylvia Lovely, who share their journey from creating a podcast about food and stories to publishing a book, Family Tree, Food & Stories.

We discuss the significance of storytelling in cooking, the connections formed through family recipes, and the role of food in celebrations, particularly weddings. The conversation also touches on kitchen disasters, essential tools for newlyweds to include on their wedding registry, and the importance of family traditions in shaping culinary experiences. Throughout, they emphasize the joy and memories that food brings to our lives and a way to have important recipes all in one place, forever.
